Pantera Capital and Arrington XRP Capital have co-led a $5.8 million private investment round for Unbound Finance.
It has been reported that the funds will be used to further develop Unbound Finance’s cross-chain stablecoin platform, including the development of native bridges for instant transfers between its native UNB stablecoin and other synthetic assets.
However, Unbound Finance operates a so-called “liquidation-free collateralization platform,” which, as the name suggests, allows users to obtain interest-free loans against collateralized tokens.
Tarun Jaswani, the CEO and Founder of Unbound Finance, the automated market makers are “DeFi's Zero to One Innovation and we are building the aggregator layer to enable greater yields [and] capital efficiency for our users.”
The report said that there are some serious backers behind Unbound Finance’s $5.8 million raise. In addition to Pantera Capital and Michael Arrington’s XRP Capital, the project received direct funding from Hashed, Coin98 Ventures, LedgerPrime, CMS Holdings, and many others. Over a dozen angel investors also participated in the raise, including the founders of Angelist, Enjin, Gnosis, Kyber Network, Polygon, Harmony, Polkastarter, and others.
Thus, Dan Morehead, the CEO of Pantera, said:
“Unbound has great potential to play a lead role in the DeFi space by focusing on liquidity pool tokens. We’re excited to support the Unbound team as they build the key tools to capitalize upon this untouched part of the DeFi ecosystem.”
